3 of the 4 #1 seeds didn't win their conference tournament. This has been a year of inconsistency among all the top teams except for Kentucky really (who plays in a weak sauce conference) and are full of freshmen and sophomores. This can only mean one thing - total chaos in the tournament. If ever there was a year that we can expect most of the #1 and #2 seeds to not make the final four, it is this year. It's gonna be a wild next few weeks. Very weak 1 seeds, relatively strong 2 and 3 seeds. those sleeper low seeds are gonna win a lot of upsets.

However, looking ahead to the new standards, 13 teams (19 percent) have APRs below 930 this year,
meaning those teams would not be eligible for postseason participation under the future NCAA rules.
These teams include 2011 National Champion University of Connecticut and number one seed Syracuse
University, as well as St. Louis, Florida State, Indiana, Southern Mississippi, Colorado State, Colorado,
Mississippi Valley State, New Mexico State, Norfolk State, Ohio, and St. Bonaventure.

I know there is going to be some loophole that will allow teams like UConn and Cuse to participate no matter what, but man, I can't wait until these rules are enforced.

Resumes wouldn't matter if they don't have those scores up there on the academic side. It's crazy to think that 13 crappy teams would have made it based on that technicality though. I'm sure the NCAA Tourney will be outstanding to watch in the coming years.

This is exactly why I think there will be some work around, or a second study will be done in a matter of a week and turn up that their APR is actually like 935, and they will be allowed to compete.

But yea, this has nothing to do with athletic resumes. It has to do with programs not giving a **** about academics or if their players actually go to class and graduate. I actually think it would be awesome to tell some of these schools to get their ish together.
